In this compact volume, which features many examples of line drawings and engravings, award-winning literary biographer Jenny Uglow examines the rich English tradition of book illustration, from early artistic responses to Paradise Lost and The Pilgrim’s Progress, through the work of Hogarth and Fielding, to the collaborations of Dickens and Phiz, and Lewis Carroll and Tenniel.
As children, learning to read, we look first at the illustrations - but how do these tell their stories differently to the words? Words & Pictures explores this question through three encounters between writers and artists. It looks at how artists have responded to two great, contrasting works, Paradise Lost and Pilgrim's Progress; at Hogarth and Fielding, great innovators, sharing common aims; and at Wordsworth and Bewick, a poet and engraver, both working separately, but both imbued with the spirit of their age. A brief coda turns to a fourth relationship: writers and artists who collaborate from the start, like Dickens and Phiz, and Lewis Carroll and Tenniel.
Sometimes amusing, sometimes moving, this is a book to pore over and enjoy. The visions it considers link daily life to the universal, the passionate and the sublime.
